There's probably a dll somewhere that can do it.

I seem to remember reading that DBC doesn't support joypads but DBP does?

G'day

DBC do support Joypads, just use the joystick command.

e.g.


I use them for my games. Works great.

hope it helps, if you couldn't sort it out, let me know, i'll throw together a little game as example

cheers Anto

@ Dark Dragon

i like your new picture

The problem with the gaming community is people think that the resolution of a game defines how good it is. I am not afraid to make a game where the main character is 50x50.

joypads typically have three ways they work. They either send absolute values along the analog axis, send hatswitch commands for the dpad, or they use buttons. What I'd do is write a small little program that watches all joystick data and reports it.

However, because joypads have so many different methods of working, you'll probably need a way to let the player bind their joypad's controls to the different functions.

Nothing I say is intended to be rude. My autism means that I do not know what is rude and what isn't rude. I apologize if I seem rude. It is not my intention.

Joypads can definitely be made to work in DBC. I have no idea how but know that Evochron Alliance was written in DBC and my joypad pro works fine with that game. You might want to ask on the following forum:
